Hillary is lying about being tough on Wall Street?

Wall Street thinks so...

From CNBC: http://www.cnbc.com/2016/02/04/why-wall-st-doesnt-care-about-hillarys-cold-shoulder.html

"Hillary Clinton has been postponing fundraisers with financial executives ahead of the New Hampshire primary. But don't expect folks on Wall Street to be offended that Clinton is distancing herself from them. In fact, they see it as smart politics and they understand that Wall Street banks are deeply unpopular, particularly with the Democratic primary base voters, according to a survey of several prominent Wall Street Democrats by CNBC."

"Everybody knows how the world works," said one Democrat working at a Wall Street bank. "If you take offense to that, you're really unsophisticated."

Guess those $250,000 speeches at Goldman Sachs buy you something.

2. Well, no one really believes her.

Whether the term is "lying' or if it is more a case of subtle winks and nods, who believes her when it comes to Wall Street and other macro economic issues? Does anyone believe she is really now against the TPP?

Here is another article that speaks to the same skepticism.

And a Washington Post report that addresses what Wall Street knows about how Hillary would treat them if by some miracle she became a Clinton presidential successor.

3. I'm beginning to believe a segment of the American people like being lied to

They were raised on it.

5. Yup, the Clinton way, literally lie and say anything you have to say to get you elected.

Then protect those who paid your way there. Disgusting.
